"At IIMIF, musicians are challenged to improve not only their playing ability, ​but their mental and physical connection to the notes as well."​-The Frederick News Post

​​Founded in 2003, IIMIF has been lauded as an exceptional summer solo and chamber music program for string players and pianists. ​With a maximum enrollment of 35 students each year, we offer a uniquely individual approach that is both challenging and supportive. ​Our interdisciplinary curriculum has been crafted to give young musicians an array of experiences that will elevate musicianship and artistic confidence. Past participants have credited their IIMIF with technical, musical, and personal growth that has extended into their studies and careers.
